[Objective]To compare and contrast the dosimetry between Tomo planning and BrainLab planning for lung metasta-ses in stereotactic body radiation therapy(SBRT).[Methods]Four Patients with one,two,three and four metastases were selected. The PTV is 2.89 ± 1.15 cm3. Two plannings with total dose of 50 Gy to cover 95% of PTV ,5 Gy/Fraction and 10 fractions were designed using Tomo planning system and BrainLab planning system respectively. The DVH curves of spinal cord ,both lungs and normal tissue were compared. The conformity index andhomogeneityindex were analyzed as well.[Results]The homogeneity index (HI)and conformity index(CI)of the targets in Tomo planning system were 1.0314 ± 0.0700 and 0.687 ± 0.075,respectively. In BrainLab planning system the HI and CI of the targets were 1.0764 ± 0.1241 and 0.571 ± 0.042,respectively. To HI the P value in T test was less than 0.01 and the HI was better in Tomo than BrainLab and so was CI. The dose to spinal cord was higher in BrainLab planning system than that in Tomo. The dose to nomal tissue and both lungs were not different in the two planning systems and V20 of lung is as small as 10%.[Conclusions]For small volume lung metastases which longest diameter were less than 4 cm,the tomotherapy should be better choice.

Objective:To evaluate the application method and effect of standardized scenario simulation teaching based on Kirkpatrick model in vocational protection education for nursing students.Methods:A historical controlled trial study was designed. Practical nursing students enrolled in 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 were selected into the experimental group ( n=203) and control group ( n=196), respectively. The experimental group adopted standardized scenario simulation teaching in the prevention and control education of needlestick injuries, and the control group adopted traditional classroom lecture. Using the Kirkpatrick model, the teaching effect of needlestick injuries protection for nursing students were compared between the 2 groups from such 4 levels as in reaction level, learning level, behavior level and results level. Results:There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups in terms of age, gender, educational background and test scores of nursing professional knowledge as compared to that before practice. In reaction level: the nursing students' satisfaction of experimental group in teaching methods ( t=25.149, P<0.001) and teaching environment ( t=12.827, P<0.001) are higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance. In learning level: the test scores of needlestick injury knowledge in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group ( t=8.221, P<0.001). In behavior level: the level of needlestick injury protection behavior in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t=9.250, P<0.001), and the knowledge conversion rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group ( t=6.054, P<0.001). In results level: the needlestick injuries incidence of experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( χ2=15.815, P<0.001), the reported rate of needlestick injuries of experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( χ2=14.185, P<0.001). Conclusion:The implementation of standardized scenario simulation teaching can effectively improve the effectiveness of vocational protection learning and reduce the incidence of needlestick injuries.

OBJECTIVE:
To carry out preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for a couple where the husband was affected by osteogenesis imperfecta combined with balanced translocation using the karyomapping technique.
METHODS:
Blastocysts were detected using karyomapping, the carrier status of COL1A1 c.760G>A (p.Gly254Arg) variant and the carrier status of the translocated chromosome were analyzed simultaneously.
RESULTS:
For a total of 10 blastocysts, two euploid blastocysts were found to not carry the COL1A1 c.760G>A (p.Gly254Arg) variant but a balanced translocation. After transplanting one of the blastocysts, clinical pregnancy was achieved. Amniocentesis at 18th gestational week and prenatal genetic testing was in keeping with the result of PGT.A healthy female was born at 40+4 weeks gestation.
CONCLUSION
For patients simultaneously carrying genetic variant and balanced chromosomal translocation, PGT can be performed with efficiency by the use of karyomapping method.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic etiology for a fetus with congenital orofacial cleft.
METHODS:
Single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP array) was carried out on skin tissues sampled from the fetus following induced abortion for the detection of copy number variation (CNVs). Pathogenicity of the candidate gene was validated through experiment.
RESULTS:
SNP array revealed that the fetus has carried a hemizygous 9.23Mb deletion at Xq21.31-q22.1(91 063 807-100 293 555), which was inherited from its mother. The region contained 13 OMIM genes and 1 ncRNA coding gene(MIR548M). Inhibiting of the expression of the MIR548M gene in oral epithelial celllines has resulted in up-regulation of the expression of SUMO1 gene which was known to involve in the pathogenesis of orofacial cleft.
CONCLUSION
Dosage insufficiency of the MIR548M gene may underlie the etiology of orofacial cleft in this fetus.

Background Long working hours are a common occupational health risk factor. The problem of long working hours and its impact on health of medical staff cannot be ignored. Objective To investigate long working hours in medical staff of tertiary grade A hospitals in Shanghai, and evaluate the relationships of long working hours with occupational stress and fatigue accumulation. Methods A total of 1531 medical staff in departments of emergency, internal medicine, surgery, intensive care unit (ICU), anesthesiology, and obstetrics and gynecology from 6 hospitals in 6 districts of Shanghai were selected using stratified random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on social demographics, occupational characteristics, andbehavior and lifestyle. The Core Occupational Stress Scale (COSS) and the Self-diagnostic Questionnaire on the Accumulation of Fatigue of Laborers were used to assess occupational stress and fatigue accumulation condition. Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the distributions of long working hours, occupational stress, and fatigue accumulation, log-binomial models were used to analyze the relationships of long working hours with occupational stress and fatigue accumulation, and job title stratified models were also constructed. Results The average weekly working hours of the study subjects was (47.84±11.40) h, 65.90% of the medical staff worked more than 40 h every week. The percentages of the weekly working hours categories of 41-48 h, 49-54 h, and ≥55 h were 31.42%, 13.46%, and 21.03%, respectively. The positive rates of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation were 25.87% and 65.64% respectively, and the differences among different age, gender, job title, education, length of service, and shift system groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of log-binomial regression showed that after adjusting for gender, age, monthly income, marital status, education, physical exercise, smoking, job position, length of service, and shift system, weekly working hours were an influencing factor of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation (P<0.05). Compared with weekly working hours≤40 h, the risk, PR(95%CI), of reporting occupational stress and fatigue accumulation increased to 2.595 (1.989, 3.385) and 1.578 (1.349, 1.845) times respectively for weekly working hours≥55 h (P<0.001). The results of job title stratification analysis showed that the risk of occupational stress among physicians, nurses, and medical technicians increased when weekly working hours≥55 h versus ≤40 h, and the PR (95%CI) values were 2.003 (1.383, 2.902), 1.971 (1.068, 3.636), and 2.770 (1.220, 6.288), respectively (P<0.05). The risk of fatigue accumulation was increased in physicians when weekly working hour≥55 h versus ≤40 h, with a PR (95%CI) value of 1.594 (1.208, 2.103) (P<0.001). Conclusion Long working hours are common among medical personnel and related to the occurrence of occupational stress and fatigue accumulation.

Objective:To analyze retinal vascular parameters and distribution characteristics in Chinese population via the fully automated quantitative measurement of retinal vascular morphological parameters based on artificial intelligence technology.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.A total of 1 842 patients without fundus diseases who visited Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2011 to December 2021 were included.Standardized questionnaires, blood draws and ophthalmologic examinations of enrolled subjects were conducted.Color fundus photographs centered on the optic disk of one eye of patients were collected, and a deep learning-based semantic segmentation network ResNet101-Unet was used to construct a vascular segmentation model for fully automated quantitative measurement of retinal vascular parameters.The main measurement indexes included retinal vascular branching angle, vascular fractal dimension, average vascular caliber, and average vascular tortuosity.To compare different retinal parameters between sexes, the correlation between the above parameters and ocular factors such as best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and axial length, as well as systemic factors such as sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease was analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University (No.20001220). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The model established in this study achieved an accuracy over 0.95 for both vascular and optic disk segmentation.The vascular branching angle, vascular fractal dimension, average vascular caliber, and average vascular tortuosity were (51.023±11.623)°, 1.573(1.542, 1.592), 64.124(60.814, 69.053)μm, (0.001 062±0.000 165)°, respectively.Compared with females, males had larger vascular branching angle, smaller average vascular caliber and smaller vascular tortuosity, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The average vascular caliber increased by 1.142 μm in people with cardiovascular disease compared to people without cardiovascular disease ( B=1.142, P=0.029, 95% CI: 0.116-2.167). The average vascular tortuosity was positively correlated with hypertension ( B=3.053×10 -5, P=0.002, 95% CI: 1.167×10 -5-4.934×10 -5) and alcohol consumption ( B=1.036×10 -5, P=0.014, 95% CI: 0.211×10 -5-1.860×10 -5) and negatively correlated with hyperlipidemia ( B=-2.422×10 -5, P=0.015, 95% CI: -4.382×10 -5-0.462×10 -5). For each 1-mm increase in axial length, there was a decrease of 0.004 in vessel fractal dimension ( B=-0.004, P<0.001, 95% CI: -0.006--0.002), a decrease of 0.266 μm in the average vessel caliber ( B=-0.266, P=0.037, 95% CI: -0.516--0.016), and a decrease of -2.45×10 -5° in the average vessel tortuosity ( B=-2.45×10 -5, P<0.001, 95% CI: -0.313×10 -5--0.177×10 -5). For each 1.0 increase in BCVA, there was an increase of 3.992° in the vascular branch angle ( B=3.992, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.283-6.702), an increase of 0.090 in vascular fractal dimension ( B=0.090, P<0.001, 95% CI: 0.078-0.102) and a decrease of 14.813 μm in the average vascular diameter ( B=-14.813, P<0.001, 95% CI: -16.474--13.153). Conclusions:A model for retinal vascular segmentation is successfully constructed.Retinal vessel parameters are associated with sex, age, systemic diseases, and ocular factors.

Various types of industrial parks in Shanghai play an important role in promoting industrial upgrading and technological progress, yet they are also fraught with occupational health hazards. To effectively promote workplace health and enable various industrial parks to play a positive role, the Shanghai Municipal Government has proposed accelerating the construction of healthy industrial parks. To meet the requirements for the scientific and standardized construction of healthy parks, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has compiled the Guidelines for Healthy Industrial Park Construction(Guidelines). Adhering to the overall principles of scientific, feasibility, advancement, and standardization, the Guidelines address three construction levels: industrial parks, employers, and employees. They set clear requirements for organizational management, healthy environments, health services, health activities, and occupational health in the workplaces, respectively. The Shanghai healthy industrial park evaluation form was provided as an informative appendix for the Guidelines. The Guidelines offer a scientific basis for standardizing and guiding the construction of healthy industrial parks, providing new solutions and technical support for urban occupational health management.

In the past ten years, the research and application of microbiome has continued to increase. The microbiome has gradually become the research focus in the fields of life science, environmental science, and medicine. Meanwhile, many countries and organizations around the world are launching their own microbiome projects and conducting a multi-faceted layout, striving to gain a strategic position in this promising field. In addition, whether it is scientific research or industrial applications, there has been a climax of research and a wave of investment and financing, accordingly, products and services related to the microbiome are constantly emerging. However, due to the rapid development of microbiome sequencing and analysis related technologies and methods, the research and application from various countries have not yet unified on the standards of technology, programs, and data. Domestic industry participants also have insufficient understanding of the microbiome. New methods, technologies, and theories have not yet been fully accepted and used. In addition, some of the existing standards and guidelines are too general with poor practicality. This not only causes obstacles in the integration of scientific research data and waste of resources, but also gives related companies unfair competition opportunity. More importantly, China still lacks national standards related to the microbiome, and the national microbiome project is still in the process of preparation. In this context, the experts and practitioners of the microbiome worked together and developed the consensus of experts. It can not only guide domestic scientific research and industrial institutions to regulate the production, learning and research of the microbiome, the application can also provide reference technical basis for the relevant national functional departments, protect the scale and standardized corporate company's interests, strengthen industry self-discipline, avoid unregulated enterprises from disrupting the market, and ultimately promote the benign development of microbiome-related industries.
